About

(A Letter From The Founder)


Greetings!

So I bet you’re wondering, what exactly is Over The Tall Shelf LLC?

Well, allow me to explain.

Over The Tall Shelf is a small indie book publishing company based in Northern California, with its market being mainly centered within the United States. Its main business is publishing kid literature for ages 8 – 12. It is also run by me and solely me. (Daunting, I know!)

In a world saturated with run-of-the mill stories and retellings I promise to deliver odd stories, less conventional protagonists, and charming settings that differ from the norm. Stories that invite you to look over the tall shelf of been – theres and done-thats, to pick something that may invite head-scratches, but will give you a fantastically charged change of pace.

In addition to this, OTTS on occasion sells paper and bookish products that also promise to reflect its core identity: quirky, fun, and light-hearted. (This normally occurs at in-person events and functions.)

As OTTS’ story now dawns over a mountain of literature, I have but one question:

Will you join OTTS a mission to shake up the norm?

Sincerely,

T.I. Avens

Founder of Over The Tall Shelf
